<p>CherryRed, welcome. If you are going a music ed route, you will face an audition based component, but the standard is usually not set as high as the school would expect of a performance track major.</p>

<p>I’d suggest reading BassDad’s post here, <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/258796-so-you-want-music-major-one-familys-experience.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/258796-so-you-want-music-major-one-familys-experience.html&lt;/a&gt; as a general overview of music admissions.</p>

<p>stephmin sums up the generalities, putting some names in perpective. More ofen than not high quality programs designed to meet licensure requirements for public school teaching certification are available at most state publics, and these may be the most cpst effective for many students. Don’t rule out privates, especially if you have a specific reason like strength of program, specific instructors, or potential for advantageous merit aid. Ohio and the midwest offer a wealth of options, both public and private.</p>
